Ever come across a piece of menswear that’s so jaw-dropping, so instantly memorable, you immediately need to have it — or at least, you immediately need to add it to your wish list? That’s what this writer first thought upon seeing the remarkable, investment-level, seriously cool Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket — a long-running fan-favorite that arrives every autumn like a welcome, brisk breeze amongst the rustle of the changing leaves.
Yes, that’s lofty praise, but this stylish men’s leather jacket is an utter classic for a reason, at least among the modern parlance of men’s leather jackets. And yes, it’s back this fall and simply better than ever.
We’ve talked about an array of the best leather jackets for men on this site in recent weeks, but few can match the construction and quality of this West Coast style staple. And while the price is assuredly investment-worthy and perhaps quite the splurge, I’d say you’re getting your money’s worth with the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, and then some. Taylor Stitch worked with its partners at Golden Bear to craft this jacket, one that was inspired by a vintage leather jacket built for the long haul, as the San Francisco brand says.
Crafted in the United States of America – no easy feat these days, my friends, each of the three variations of this handsome jacket are fashioned from hard-wearing, full-grain, drum-dyed 3.5-oz steerhide that should become more supple with each wear.
It’s fully lined and features flannel-lined pockets for added warmth — while it’s not quite a beefy puffer jacket or winter parka, you should be able to wear this jacket atop a flannel shirt and henley on especially brisk autumn days.
The specs on the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket only get better from there — it also features Thinsulate insulation for substantial depth and warmth on the open road, with articulated back construction and a cropped fit for added mobility. Antique brass hardware, including a two-way YKK zipper and antique brass snaps, lends a further air of rugged durability to a jacket that’s bound to become your new favorite.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this standout leather jacket, one of the coolest fall jackets for men, is moving quickly in leather shades like Espresso Steerhide. No matter which of the trio you select, this jacket is just about as ruggedly stylish as it gets when paired with classic dark blue jeans and a thermal henley, or else a plaid flannel shirt jacket and trusty Taylor Stitch moto boots (another personal favorite of mine).
For remarkable quality and durability, for almost limitless style potential and with longevity in mind, I’d wager it’s tough to beat the wearability and utility — plus fashion points aplenty — of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket. Inquiring minds, head to Taylor Stitch to learn more.
